calling Customer Service at 800-752-2082. Legend pack joint curb stops and fittings are designed and

manufactured in accordance with AWWA C-800 specifications and are suitable for installation onto

underground cold water service lines only.

NOTE: All pack joint end connections accept the following CTS (Copper Tubing Size) types of tubing or IPS

(Iron Pipe Size) types of pipe:

CTS tubing:

Types K or L copper tubing

CTS polyethylene plastic tubing (ASTM D2737 SDR9)

IPS pipe:

Steel pipe

Brass pipe

PVC pipe (ASTM D1785-06)

IPS polyethylene plastic pipe (ASTM D2239 SIDR 7)

Extra-strong (XS) lead pipe (models T-4110, T-4111 and T-4112 only)

Insert stiffeners (sold separately) MUST be used when installing fittings or curb stops onto polyethylene plastic

tubing or pipe.

Installation Instructions for pack joint end connections:

1. Cut tubing or pipe to desired length, using an appropriate tubing or pipe cutter.

2. The cut must be square and round. Correct any out-of-round tubing or pipe using the appropriate tool.

The cut end of the tubing or pipe must be free of burrs, dents, nicks, deep scratches, dirt or debris.

3. If you are installing the Legend pack joint fitting or curb stop onto polyethylene plastic tubing or

pipe, insert the correct stiffener into the cut end of the plastic tubing or pipe (Legend Model T-4500 or

T-4501). Make sure to fully insert the stiffener. Partially inserted stiffeners may prevent the pack joint

connection from joining or sealing correctly. NOTE: Insert stiffeners are not required when installing

rigid PVC plastic pipe or metallic tubing or pipe.

4. Remove the pack joint nut assembly from the fitting or curb stop body.

5. Visually verify that the assembly is complete: pack joint nut, stainless steel clamp bolt, NBR rubber

gasket and Nylon anti-friction ring (underneath the gasket). (insert pack-joint nut exploded view

diagram here)

6. Place the pack joint nut assembly over the end of the tubing or pipe, clamp end first. Make sure the anti-

friction ring and gasket are not cocked at an angle. Both should be resting flat against the inside face of

the pack joint nut.

7. Slide the pack joint nut assembly down onto the tubing or pipe approximately three inches.

8. Place the curb stop’s or fitting’s body section onto the tubing or pipe end. Some fittings will have a tubing or pipe stop machined internally, others will not (e.g. all union fittings). Completely insert the tubing or pipe. When installing the union, insert the tubing or pipe only as far as the half-way point of the union’s body, to allow enough insertion depth for the other tubing or pipe end. 9.

ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS AND WARNINGS: WARNING! Pressure-test the system in accordance with local code requirements before backfilling. Visually inspect all connections for leakage and correct as necessary. Installation is complete only after a pressure test has been completed.
